- Developing Ownership of Learning: ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills and CAS projects equip students with resilience, critical thinking, and global awareness, fostering holistic personal growth beyond academics.
- Dedicated University Counselling: Individualised support from our university and careers counsellors, backed by strong global university connections.

More Than a Diploma—A Launchpad for Life
Academic excellence is just one part of the students’ journey at DCB. Over two rigorous years, our IB students developed far more than academic knowledge. They leave equipped with future-ready skills that will serve them for life— self-discipline, critical thinking, innovative problem-solving, and a growth mindset.
We couldn’t be prouder of the Class of 2025, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll make on the world.
